Proposal

He was extremely polished
and charming; she got swept off her feet.

She ought to have been
careful; his voice was less human and more metallic. She could have very
easily sensed it, if only she had not got carried away by his heart warming
smile and twinkling eyes. Had she been a little discerning she would have been
prepared for what was to come. His metallic voice should have surely warned
her.

She was head over heels
in love with him and she had been eagerly waiting for him to reciprocate her
feelings and eventually propose to her. But he was always restrained in his
feelings; always less than optimal.

The wait was becoming heartbreakingly
long for her. It made her desperate. A time
came when she could no longer stop herself; and, one beautiful evening, she
proposed to him. She was sure that he could not say no to her.

He smiled and said in his
metallic voice, ‘Don’t you think you ought to marry a human being?’
